Hey folks.

Just trying the new Civilization in PD9 (Build 9.0.24251) (Win7 guest, OSX 10.10 host) and while it mostly works ok, the game screen has really whacked out colours, see screenshot. I've had to resize it down but you'll get the idea.

The psychedelic pink is clearly wrong :)

Anyone else seeing this, or anyone managing to run this game ok? Not sure what to try to fix it :/

Edit: oh this is the demo by the way, freely available on Steam if anyone wants try it :)

Yeah same exact thing here. PD10, win7, OSX 10.10, iMac 27" late2012(NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB)
game mode, video 512k,
Tried lowest resolution with lowest graphic settings, both full screen and windowed. Even tried max graphics.
The game runs fine, all menus and things in game are fine, it is just everything else has the colour shift.

edit - there is this redit thread as well http://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/2k63t3/issues_with_mac_via_parallels/

I also purchased it today and I am having a different issue -- it gets stuck on the load screen, and after all of the proposed fixes below (including editing the .ini file successfully) it is still stuck on the load screen. What's going on?

I'm having same issue with messed colors. PD 10.1.0 (Build 28600), OS X 10.10, Win8 guest, Retina MacBook Pro.
 
Same issue here with the colors. Most things are like neon pink.

If you wait 5-10min the menu should appear. But you will probably have the colors issue in-game.
 
2014 i7 MacBookPro / dual video cards Intel and nVidia / 16GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10, Parallels Version 10.1.1, Windows 8.1 with all software updated.
Similar issue here. After running multiple resolutions, I finally found a version that is ok. However, the colors are not right. The intro video and opening menus seem to be ok in Beyond Earth. However, after the opening video (whether you click through it or let it run) there is a significant lag before the menu appears (no matter what resolution I use). However, as soon as the screen opens when you are to select your landing site, everything is pink and dark. Any help is appreciated. (I tried running the resolution at full capacity for the MacBookPro Retina, etc, but the font and menus were so small, you could hardly read them.)
 
Meh, I have the same issues.
Time to uninstall parallels and go for boot-camp i guess. And ofc just after i just upgraded to latest version of parallels :(
 
I want to note that this issue has been present in Civilization 5 (the base game that Civilization: Beyond Earth is a skin / expansion of)
